Pleasure Bound: Victorian Sex Rebels and the New Eroticism
froot avatar reviewed on + 178 more book reviews


In the 1860's, at the height of the Victorian Era, the world was changing at an unsettling pace. This book touches on the sexually themed writing and painting (including out-and-out pornography)of the latter half of the 19th century. Much of what they dipped their hands into feels strangely modern to us today. Much of this is about sexual expression. Not a light read. Definately a heavy read with deep thinking attached. OVER ALL, It was ok. Nothing I'd go back to.
